Since Wei Zhixian was just being hypocritical, Wang Xian didn't take it seriously. He had more important things to do - in two days, my father and mother would go to Hangzhou with Yin Ling.
Since the Chinese New Year, my father has been busy entertaining the officials and gentry. It was only on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month that he started to prepare gifts and pack his luggage. He was so busy that he didn't finish everything until the morning of the 20th.
Wang Xian took leave today and was going to send his parents to Hangzhou to settle down. It was impossible not to send them off. There were boxes and baskets in the house that were all the belongings that my mother wanted to take to Hangzhou. Not only did his two brothers have to send them off, but also
You need to find a few people to help you fight together.
Wang Gui originally planned to go to the street to hire some laborers, but his father kicked his ass and scolded him: "Didn't you slap the second-in-command in the face? With his current status, he still has to spend money to hire people?"
Wang Xian, who had the same idea as Wang Gui, had no choice but to say: "Yes, Qin Shou, Shuai Hui and the others will be here soon." After saying that, he said to his mother: "But mother, don't bring the toilet with you.
…….”
"You poor little kid who suddenly got rich, don't you know that losing your family is worth thousands of dollars?" My mother glared at him and said, "Anyway, there are people who will help you move. If you take it to Hangzhou, you can save money and buy new ones."
"It will be more comfortable to buy a new one." Wang Xian said with a wry smile.
"Let's talk about it when you really have money." I sighed: "If you divide your family into three households, the expenses will be huge. I don't know how your father's job will go, and you don't know when your brother's business will make money.
It would be nice to rely on you to supplement it..."
"Are you feeling guilty for saying this?" My father was not happy about being looked down upon by his wife, "Obviously I couldn't poop if I changed to another toilet..."
"Ouch..." The children suddenly realized, and I said angrily: "Why are you laughing? It's not the same old habit that gave birth to you bastards!"
This sentence shocked the whole audience, and I felt secretly happy. This trick is really tried and true, and any problems can be fixed...
Just after Mao hour, Qin Shou, Shuai Hui and Liu Erhei came with a few people Zhuang, and began to carry it to the cart one after another under the command of my mother.
"Be careful and handle it with care. As for you, don't break it!"
Watching the trucks being rolled out one after another, the house was being emptied little by little. Even though I knew this was the end of the old and the beginning of the new, I couldn't help but curse my mother: 'It's like the house was ransacked!'
"Bah, bah, bah!" Dad said angrily, "I'm going to take office, so be lucky!"
"You are so particular about it..." I also said the second half of the sentence, "I don't have to go to the salt farm to dry the salt," but I didn't say it in the end.
Slowly closing the courtyard door, I said goodbye to this humble residence that represented the most difficult years of the Wang family. Her tears still fell down...
When she turned her head, she saw the neighbors standing in the alley. They had been delivering the process instruments one after another in the past few days... The luggage of my father and mother took eight large trucks. Most of them were neighbors, as well as colleagues, relatives and friends.
It was a gift...but this time I still carried a basket, which contained some dumplings, fruits and other snacks for the road.
While whispering goodbye, the neighbors surrounded me and came out of the alley, and people on the street also waved to her goodbye:
"Oh, Wang Gui, damn, we can't bear to leave you before you leave..."
"Yes, sister-in-law, now that you leave, no one will bargain with me, and I won't be happy making money..."
"Don't leave. We won't be able to sleep well if we don't hear you scolding us every day." Someone wiped away tears and said, "What's so good about Hangzhou? Are there neighbors like us who are used to being scolded by you?"
The old lady was very moved when she heard this, nodded to everyone and said: "Since everyone is so urging me to stay, then I won't leave!"
"Don't!" The neighbors immediately panicked and quickly changed their words: "It's better to be in the provincial capital, our small county town can't compare." "We can't hold you back when you go to higher places!" "Yes.
, the people of Hangzhou City also need you to teach them a lesson!" "We miss you, can we go see you, it's so close anyway..."
"Bad head," I snorted, "I know you want me to get out of here!"
"No, no," the neighbors hurriedly explained in a clumsy manner, but no matter how they explained it, they couldn't explain the complicated mood of neither abandonment nor relief... ""
"Okay, stop talking." When I saw the dock arriving, I waved to everyone and said, "I feel bad for just bullying you, so I went to harm the provincial capital and you will be freed!" After that, the topic changed and she said: "But I just bullied you.
Don’t be too happy too early, if I can’t get used to living in Hangzhou, I will still come back!”
"How can it be possible? There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. I guarantee you won't want to come back if you go there..." Everyone laughed.
"My mother and son are still in Fuyang. My wife has given birth to a child, and you will take care of her during the confinement period?" I sneered.
"You are such a shameless mother-in-law. Your daughter-in-law is pregnant and you still don't serve her honestly..." Everyone laughed and scolded me. The parting sadness that had been accumulated so easily was washed away by the unscrupulous ridicule.
Jing. In fact, this is the tone I am used to. That kind of sad little sentiment cannot survive in her field.
.
The farewell crowds at the pier were clearly differentiated. Those in decent robes and scarves came to see off my father; those in commoners, felt hats, and hairpin skirts came to see off my mother. The number of the latter was more than ten times greater than the former...
…
This puzzled Yin Ling, "Why do they come to see me off when I bully them all day long?"
"Mom is so popular..." Wang Gui said with a proud smile.
"Nonsense..." This answer obviously did not satisfy Yin Ling, so she turned to Wang Xian.
"Although they hate me so much when they mention me," Wang Xian said softly, "but they all respect her..."
"How can you respect someone if you hate him so much?" Xiao Yinling was confused.
"It's not contradictory. I have a sharp tongue and likes to take advantage. Naturally, the neighbors hate me with hatred." Wang Xian looked at the high-spirited old woman who was surrounded in the center and laughed loudly. He explained to his sister: "But she is in our house.
When the disaster hit, one person held up the family until the clouds cleared and the moon came out. The neighbors could clearly see how much hardship they endured and how much they suffered." He sighed softly as he spoke.
Said: "The harder people live, the more they know how valuable this tenacity is. They respect her from the bottom of their hearts. Is it any wonder?"
"Oh..." Yin Ling nodded in understanding and whispered, "I also think I am amazing."
"Yes." Wang Gui also nodded and said, "Mother is the best mother in the world!"
"Haha..." Wang Xian smiled and nodded, but rolled his eyes in his heart and said, she is also the stingiest mother in the world. She plundered all the family's money. How can Sister Lin and I live?
.
At noon, the ship arrived in Hangzhou. Qin Shou went down and hired a cart, and took someone to unload the luggage and transport it to the house that his father had rented last year.
Hangzhou City is the ancient capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Even though it has experienced three dynasties, it still has a grand atmosphere everywhere, which makes the country bumpkins from the county inevitably shrink back and feel a little ashamed of themselves...
Fortunately, my father and mother are very humane, and even if they are nervous, no one will notice. The motorcade passed through the streets and alleys and arrived at Taiping Lane of Qinghefang. Wang Xian supported the cart and was about to turn into the alley when he suddenly heard a surprise
He called out: "Brother Zhongde!"
Following the sound, Yin Ling smiled cheerfully and said, "Yeah, it's you. You're so good-looking!"
Then he saw Yu Qian walking over with a book under his arm and a smile on his face. Hearing Yin Ling's words, his face turned red and he nodded: "Thank you, sister, your method is very effective."
"That's right." Yin Ling said proudly.
"Ahem..." Wang Xian coughed, turned Yu Qian's eyes and said, "We are really destined to meet again."
"Yes, what a coincidence." When Yu Qian saw the car was full of boxes and toilets, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Brother Zhongde, are you moving to Hangzhou?"
"My parents are moving here, but I won't come," Wang Xian said with a smile.
Only then did Yu Qian realize that the two men and women sitting in the car behind him were the parents of Wang Xian and the little girl, and he quickly paid homage to them.
When Wang Xingye came to the provincial capital, he was relatively restrained. At least he didn't pick his feet while sitting in the car. He smiled and greeted the young scholar.
Yu Qian accompanied them into the alley. Coincidentally, the Yu family also lived in Taiping. The house Wang Xingye rented was the property of Yu Qian's second uncle.
After hearing this letter, Wang Xingye couldn't help but feel depressed. He looked at his wife and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes... It would have been a lot easier if he had known this guy earlier.
Yu Qian originally heard that Wang Xian was going back and felt very sorry, but when he heard that Yin Ling was going to live in Hangzhou, he felt ten times more happy for some reason. He didn't know why he was so happy, but he was very happy anyway.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xian couldn't help but secretly thought that he and Yin Ling were at the age of puppy love, so they shouldn't get together as a couple. Wang Xian naturally admired the national hero very much, so he could let his sister marry a national hero. He was
A hundred unhappy ones.
Suddenly seeing the willow color on the street, he regretted teaching his husband to look for a title. I remember that in history, Yu Qian's wife was sent to Shanhaiguan, and she seemed to have cried blindly. Wang Xian did not want his sister to play this role.
When I thought about it again, I couldn't help laughing. Isn't this thinking too far ahead? The two children are still ignorant. I first thought of it decades later...
As expected, every brother is the enemy of his brother-in-law, and this is absolutely true.
After calming down and entering the door, Wang Xian found that his father really enjoyed it. This house was much more grand than the old house in Fuyang. It had a three-in-one two-story courtyard with four waterways, a high horse-head wall, and one waterway.
The Daiqing tiles really look like a wealthy family.
"There is no way." Dad explained with some embarrassment: "Now that you are an official, you have to maintain your dignity, even if your face is swollen, you have to pretend to be fat..."
"It's okay, it should be..." Wang Xian wiped his sweat. He finally understood why my mother had scraped all the land to Hangzhou. Because my father is an official now, naturally he can no longer let the official's wife and lady do the laundry and cook.
Even if you empty the toilet, you have to take a follower with you when you go out. This is all an expense!
